Odyssey Podcast #164
Odyssey Podcast #164 is an excerpt from a lecture by David Corbett for Your Personal Odyssey in 2023 on characterization and the three facets of character struggle.
David is the author of seven novels, which have been nominated for numerous awards, including the Edgar®. His second novel, Done for a Dime, was a New York Times Notable Book, and Patrick Anderson of the Washington Post described it as “one of the three or four best American crime novels I have ever read.” His latest novel, The Truth Against the World, was published in June 2023. Corbett’s short fiction has twice been selected for Best American Mystery Stories, and a collaborative novel for which he contributed a chapter—Culprits—was adapted for TV by the producers of Killing Eve for Disney+ in the U.K. His non-fiction has appeared in the New York Times, Narrative, Writer’s Digest, and other outlets. He has written two writing guides, The Art of Character (“A writer’s bible”) and The Compass of Character, and he is a monthly contributor to Writer Unboxed, an award-winning blog dedicated to the craft and business of fiction.
